The top two teams, Austria and Russia, qualified directly for the finals. As third-placed Sweden weren't the highest-ranked among all third-placed teams, they advanced to the play-offs, where they won against Denmark and thus qualified as well.

Notes

  1. ↑ CET (UTC+1) for matches on 15 November 2014 and 27 March 2015, and CEST (UTC+2) for all other matches.
  2. ↑ The Montenegro v Russia match was awarded as a 3–0 win to Russia [7] after it was abandoned in the 67th minute at 0–0 due to crowd violence and a scuffle between players. This was the second delay of the match as in the first minute Russian goalkeeper Igor Akinfeev was hit by a flare thrown from the crowd and stretchered off, causing a 33-minute delay. [8] Montenegro also had to play their next home qualifying game behind closed doors, and the Montenegrin and Russian FAs were fined €50,000 and €25,000 respectively. [9]
  3. ↑ Played behind closed doors because of a sanction imposed on Montenegro after the abandoned match against Russia.
  4. ↑ The goal tally takes into account the original result of fixtures that were subsequently forfeited, not the awarded scoreline.
